style changes include a wider front grille
What is this?
The new Nissan GT-R has been shown to us at the end of 2007. At the time of his chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno has clearly indicated that there would be another three years perfecting the concept would be to a point where the real GT-R unveiled. And this, apparently it is.
Does not look much different, right? But it is not. The major changes in style, but some daytime running lights, larger grille and new rear diffuser, carbon running, but the car has been extensively updated mechanics.

How is it?
Tantalisingly enough, Mizuno remaining cautious in the numbers, but we will know more lift and valve timing convoluted production has increased at least 478bhp to 523bhp.
In addition, there is now a carbon mast brace on the engine room dampers modified relating to tires, brakes front construction and design changes, larger (up to 10 mm 390 mm), an increase of 10 per cent of production and we believe to improved economy and emissions of CO2.
What is this? Nissan does not say, at least for now. However, it is safe to assume that one-tenth or two of them claimed 3.6sec 0-60mph time and top speed can be made are now closer to 200 mph miles 190 hours.
As for the lap of the Nurburgring, Nissan is therefore the focus has been his team go on a tear the day I drove the car, but the weather prevented the process.
Instead, I slipped on the Nordschleife, and found the final booster shot be less important than the apparent widening of the band of torque. Of course, there are no data for this, but the GT-R felt better gear than before seems natural.
But I would say that the main change concerns the suspension, which seemed incredibly stable, though very interested in his nose up close, that have been absurd to push the slippery track conditions.
Should I buy?
Now it seems that the great shock that Nissan will be charged. A version should be sold in the United Kingdom at a cost of over £ 70,000, which could easily lead to an increase of 10 Grand Prix.
were and, while the GT-R will be improved and comprehensive, perhaps even more than is expected for this type of bonus would be.
